The point of the problem is to remember the cosine relation. It says, in this case, that

[tex]\cos (?)=\frac{\text{adjacent side}}{Hypotenuse}\Rightarrow\begin{cases}\text{adjacent side}=6 \\ \text{Hypotenuse}=13\end{cases}\Rightarrow\cos (?)=\frac{6}{13}[/tex]

Converting the last equation by the inverse function, we get

[tex]?=\cos ^{-1}(\frac{6}{13})\approx62.5[/tex]

For the first decimal place (5) equals 5, and by the rounding rule to the nearest degree, we get 63. The answer is A.
